Right .. so I'm 21 now and I still have not gotten a job yet..
I live in Florida now & Ive been asking my parents and everyone around me for help sense I was 15 but they just kept saying that I should know how to do it and that I don't need help even though I keep asking for it...I've applied to lots of places and stuff but I've never got a call back or anything .. I also call them a week after I apply to check up on the application like I was told by a friend but even so I still have never gotten one :/
...Any ideas? I'd prefer to actually do something in my life but live with my abusive parents at the age of 21 :/
How do I get a job?

Put on clean clothes and walk down the street. Go into every door and ask if they are looking for help. Some will say "We're taking applications," but that is not what you want: you want someone who is hiring. You will have a job by the end of the day, unless that town is dead.
If you want to leave your parents' house, tell your employer you are looking for a cheap pad within walking distance. Do not get stuck with a car for any reason. You can't afford the expense.
Save half of everything you earn. Yes, half. To start, keep your savings in gold or silver coins which you do not store in anybody else's vault. (IOW hide them at home.) Spend your evenings studying investment books at the public library. When you are smart enough then you can make other investments. If you earn ten bux an hour and save half, in only ten years you will have A HUNDRED THOUSAND BUX not counting interest or capital gains or paper profits: only principle. There is no other plan that will give you a net worth above zero in only ten years. And there is no school that will teach you any such thing.
Does this plan work? Andrew Carnegie worked five years, saved his wages, and then put it all into a tech stock: telegraph. You might have heard the name. His hobby was building concert halls and libraries.
Don't start a question with "right, so"
That's one way to get started in the right direction.
Look around town and see if there's anywhere with help wanted signs. If they don't have signs, ask if they need someone that can work part time. It's always better to ask in person than to call or email because they can easily ignore you.
I am just looking for simple work for money so that I can move out I already have plans to do stuff after I get the money but I need money in order to do said stuff ... I am also extremely shy ... I'm really just applying at fast food places and grocery stores really... and the movie theaters near here
